EVERGREEN CHRISTIAN OUTREACH

Evergreen Christian Outreach (EChO) offers goods and services to local families in need. In addition to items like groceries, food and clothing, EChO offers short-term assistance, mentoring and prayer support.

Church of the Hills has always consistently supported Evergreen Christian Outreach not only through donations of food, but contributions of cash and volunteer hours.

EChO is much more than a food bank. It not only provides food for the clients, but Evergreen Christian Outreach also assists with rent or mortgages, utilities, gas, auto repair, insurance, phone bills, medications, child care and a variety of educational opportunities. There is a job center to help the unemployed to become self-sufficient and the under-employed to get higher paying jobs. EChO offers a variety of workshops including interviewing, resume’ writing, and budgeting.

Church of the Hills contributes financial assistance quarterly and donates food and other needed items regularly.

MEAN STREET MINISTRY

Mean Street. You ask, ” Why call it ‘Mean’?” The Webster Dictionary defines mean as low in quality, value, or importance; paltry; poor; … You get the picture? The little, old motels up and down east and west Colfax are being occupied by our working homeless with two or more families per room. These are our struggling families that we provide a meal of burritos one day a week….east Colfax get theirs on Monday night and west Colfax get theirs on Tuesday night. It is not much, but the street ministers that deliver the burritos pray with these people, see if they need formula or diapers for their babies, more groceries, or any other resources or help we can guide them to. Our main purpose is to let these people know God loves them and has not forgotten them and that all these willing hands want to help too.

This is an organization that needs your help also, so join us Monday mornings in the parlor (Room 112) of COTH from 9:30-10:30 to help make the burritos, or see where else you can get involved. Be God’s hands.
